Politics Weekly podcast: Ed Miliband and an EU referendum

Ed Miliband is now more popular (or perhaps more accurately "less unpopular") than David Cameron according to recent polls , - and as our parliamentary sketchwriter Simon Hoggart notes, his performances in the Commons are getting stronger. Even the usually hostile Spectator is starting to take seriously the prospect of a Miliband premiership. In the studio to discuss Ed Miliband's change in fortunes are Guardian columnists Gaby Hinsliff and Zoe Williams and the Observer's Nick Cohen . Also up for discussion this week is the enduring appeal of an EU referendum. Ed Miliband has been floating the possibility of including an in/out vote on Europe in the next party manifesto. But could the tactic designed to destabilise the Tories backfire? Plus we look at the Beecroft report on employment, in which a prominent Conservative donor argues that workers should be made easier to fire in order to make them more appealing to hire.
